River flush - how to extract value

Denutz · #1 09-07-2005, 10:55 AM

Background, this guy has been aggro and running over the table a bit, figured if I hit ace, king or club had him...

what do you think of the river bet? other recommendations? lead out a small bet? let him take the initiative? thanks!

What were you trying to accomplish with a turn check mini-raise? I'd really like to hear your reasoning behind the check mini-raise.

I thought his bet was a pot steal attempt so figured a raise might knock him out of the pot, but also figured it was somewhat of a semi-bluff, with at least 9 (up to 15)outs to cover me, that is until his large reraise.

Commence what? You lost me...

So why did you choose the check mini-raise as your option to 'knock him out of the pot'? Why that raise specifically? I just see that as the worst option.
